Product Description

This SSL 4052 E was used by Can-Am Studios to record and mix many notable artists throughout its life. Some artists include Pink Floyd, Stone Temple Pilots, and Pearl Jam, just to name a few. Additionally, this was the main board used by Death Row Records in their heyday. This console has had one location in its entire existence and was only recently moved (into the next room) for this overhaul. The desk has undergone a major overhaul according to Chris Lord-Alge's specifications, as he intended to use it as a second console. Six months of labor and $50,000 have been put into restoring this board. Please see the specs provided below and feel free to contact us with any questions.
